Sexuality prior to our knowing how babies are made. Sex as sacred because of the sheer pleasure of it. Female power: she supplied orgasms (or withheld them). As civilization grows more complex, so does sexuality. A 70,000 year old lipstick: earliest evidence of sex for pleasure for stone age. Made to make a female mouth look more like a vagina and signal to males whether sex was an offer or not. Clay figurines that were faceless with large breasts, a rounded belly and a vagina. Trobrianders, even in the 20th century, had no word for father. Sambia of new guinea: boys need to ingest lots of sperm from older males in order to become fully fertile. Women would choose their favorite 5 or so lovers to help her husband with fertilization. Everyone gets to enjoy a lot of sex and its economical.
